After seeing Dongluo and his party enter the village, the remaining villagers of Qingyan Village began to deal with the wild boar the size of a house again.

Especially when dealing with the head of the wild boar, they are even more careful, this wild boar is their only prey for nearly half a month. After the wild boar's head is processed, it will be offered to the gods of the mountains and rivers together with the many winter sacrifices enshrined in Qingyan Village, so as to ensure that the wind and rain will be smooth and the rice grain will be surplus in the coming year.

Everyone's movements are extremely gentle, each performing their own duties, and they are busy.

The cold air rolls up the frost and snow, and the warm water melts the ice edges, this picture looks like a happy winter harvest no matter how you look at it. Looking at it from afar, it is as gentle as a cloud and as comfortable as flowing water.

But in fact, this is not the case, what flows in the eyes of the villagers of Qingyan Village is deep worry and anxiety, and what is written on their faces is a deep sense of anxiety and fear.

A middle-aged man was anxiously pacing back and forth, constantly directing the villagers to deal with wild boars and arranging personnel to carry other winter sacrifice offerings.

It is also impossible for him not to be anxious, this sacrifice will determine the survival of Qingyan Village in the coming year to a large extent.

As far as he knew, there were several villages around Qingyan Village that were smaller than Qingyan Village, because they couldn't get together the offerings during the winter festival and lost the protection of the gods of mountains and rivers.

Without the protection of the gods of mountains and rivers, it is already difficult to survive, let alone live. What's more, some villages have been removed from Mangshan.

And it was the high gods who removed their names from above.

It stands to reason that there are three big animals and three small animals at the time of sacrifice, the big three cattle, sheep and pigs, and the small three pigs, fish and chickens.

But for some reason, for more than half a month, the hunters of Qingyan Village returned empty-handed every time they entered the mountain, and there was no hunting at all, not to mention that it was difficult to gather the big three animals, and even the small three animals were difficult.

It can be said that the wild boar in front of them, which seems to have been sent to them by the gods, will be the key to their sacrifice this time.

Qingming is panicked but not chaotic, there are only so many sacrifices that Qingyan Village can offer, as for how many gods will take away in the end, and whether Qingyan Village will be blessed by the gods, that is, those gods who sit high in the clouds and don't know if they really exist.

The only thing he can do is to do his best and obey the destiny of heaven.

But in this world, it seems that personnel are easy to exhaust, and the destiny is difficult to violate.

......

In the Mangshan Mountain, not far from Qingyan Village, two men dressed in white like snow were walking through the snow.

One of the men said with a smile: "Do you say that the reptiles in Qingyan Village are like sleepy beasts now, and their eyes are full of helplessness and longing? ”

After the man finished speaking, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips, and the strange thing was that there was a fork between his tongue, like a snake letter, making a sizzling sound.

The other man frowned slightly, "Ba snake, both."

However, if you have become a human being, you must live like a human being. ”

"Tiger power, a demon is a demon, and if you turn into a human, you really treat yourself as a human being! ”

Ba Snake pointed at Hu Li and laughed, laughing so much that tears were about to fall from his vertical pupils.

Hu Li snorted coldly, "I don't know what to fear." ”

The man with vertical pupils sighed, and then turned into a multicolored giant snake, crawling on the snow, countless thick trees broke one after another, and branches flew wildly along the way.

The speed of the giant snake is very fast, but the speed of the tiger power is not slow at all. Always following the serpent's side.

Hu Li looked at the lonely jungle, listened to the sound of one snowflake pressing on another, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The snake slowed down, and the snake pupils the size of a red lantern stared at the man in white, "Hu Li, what do you mean by that?"

The man in white said in a flat voice: "It's not interesting, you must not think about it too much, I'm just afraid that some demons will not be able to do things well and ruin the good things of the master." ”

The snake's pupils contracted, and a murderous aura like substance rushed straight towards the man in white.

The man in white was not afraid.

Ba Snake snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, half a month ago, I devoured all the big and small beasts around Qingyan Village, and I promise that this winter festival will make them the sacrifice of the master because they can't offer sacrifices." ”

The man in white hummed in disbelief, no matter how he looked at it, he understood the truth from the forest better than a snake living in a dark cave.

The law of the jungle is only superficial.

In this forest, there are still many unknown strong and weak foods, and in this mountain forest under their feet, I don't know how many calculations have been buried, how many conspiracies have been covered, and how many bloods have been ......

How many dry bones are as rotten as fallen leaves and decay into soil, in the wordless silence, silently accusing those distant figures.

Some of those figures are pillow people, some are fellow disciples, and some are close friends......

In his limited cognition, there is a truth that he has realized in his long practice.

That is, you can underestimate any race in this Mangshan, but you can't underestimate the human race, even if it is just a group of human races that are so weak that they can pinch their fingers to death.

Don't underestimate human nature.

Human beings, when faced with desperate situations, often burst out with great potential.

This is also the reason why he is obviously a demon, but he really wants to be a person.

This is also the reason why he is worried about Qingyan Village.

Before the dust settles, there are endless possibilities.

......

Qing Ming looked at the two white-clothed men walking slowly in the snow in the distance, and wondered slightly, what happened today? Why are there two more oracles?

Qing Ming only glanced at it, then lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Qingyan Village to meet the Divine Envoy." ”

At a glance, he only saw clearly that there was a snake-shaped divine seal on the eyebrows of a divine envoy, and a tiger-shaped divine seal on the eyebrows of a divine envoy.

Ba Snake seems to enjoy this kind of people

The feeling of kneeling, he opened his hands and took a sharp breath.

Ba Snake raised his eyebrows at Hu Li, and said arrogantly, "Are the sacrifices ready?"

Qing Ming's voice trembled a little and said, "Ready." ”

"Ready?" said the snake with some exasperation, "Human, do you know the cost of deceiving the oracle?"

Qing Ming's head pressed even lower, "Know." ”

price

"Sacrifice it! If I let me know that you dare to deceive me, then there is no need for Qingyan Village to continue to exist. ”

Ba Snake looked down at the people of Qingyan Village condescendingly, and he told Hu Li that they couldn't take out the sacrifices, if they took them out, wouldn't this be slapping him in the face?

But looking at Qing Ming's appearance, it is not a fake, Ba Snake suddenly has a bad premonition, there are few things to lose face, if it is bad for the master's business, then the sin will be great.

Hu Li also has a bad premonition in his heart, for human beings, no matter how weak he is, he can't afford to have the slightest contempt.

When he had not yet become a demon beast, he suffered a great loss at the hands of ordinary people. When he embarked on the path of cultivation and became a demon beast, he was almost captured by a human cultivator and used as a mount.

Human beings have a deep fear of him.

He also has it for humans.

Or it's not just him, all the fierce beasts and monsters in the world are the same.

Weak humans are scared when they see a beast, but a beast is scared when they see a human.

Ba Snake glanced at Hu Li and noticed that his expression had not changed much. It seems that this is expected to be the case.

Ba Snake was a little irritable for no reason, and even the already cold eyes that led him to look at the people in Qingyan Village were even colder.

Under Qing Ming's methodical command, many sacrificial items were lined up in front of the snake.

There are jade ritual vessels such as wall, cong, gui, zhang and other jade ritual vessels, as well as bronze vessels such as bells, tripods, and gui......

In front of this pile of ritual vessels is a wild boar the size of a house, and on either side of the wild boar is a pile of chickens and fish.

It just happened to be a small three animals.

When he saw dozens of people carrying wild boars out of the village, Ba Snake's heart had already fallen to the bottom.

When he saw the wild boar clearly, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Fat pig?"

Hu Li's expression also changed greatly, this fat pig is the same as them, he collects sacrifices for others, and his cultivation is comparable to him, it stands to reason that he didn't go to another village to collect sacrifices yesterday?

Hu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Qingyan Village, could it be that in this remote small village full of ordinary people, there are still people he doesn't know?

If that person can kill the fat pig as a sacrifice, then he will be about the same as the fat man's cultivation......

Hu Li took a few steps back slightly.

Ba Snake said in a cold voice: "This ...... Where did you come from this pig?"

Qing Ming didn't know why the Divine Envoy who was high up in his eyes would care about the origin of a sacrifice, but he still told him the origin of the wild boar.

Ba Snake exhaled lightly, although it was the hand of the people from Qingyan Village, but it was just thinking

When you pick up a leak!

It is very likely that the fat pig met a cultivator when he went to collect the sacrifice, as for whether the cultivator was a human or a demon is not clear, but the strength is definitely stronger than the fat pig, the fat pig is invincible, and he was seriously injured and fled here to be caught by the hunters of Qingyan Village to make sacrifices.

Ba Snake felt that the fat pig was too unlucky, and even if he died at the hands of a group of ordinary people, he was made into a sacrifice.

Hu Li only felt that there were too many accidents in this forest.

Hu Li, who is cautious by nature, secretly said: "Don't be in a hurry to do it first, try the depth of Qingyan Village first." ”

Ba Snake nodded, it was rare for them to be so unanimous on one point of view.

Ba Snake squinted slightly, looked at the people of Qingyan Village who were kneeling on the ground, sneered, and grabbed Qingming's head with lightning speed.

At his fingertips, wisps of venom overflowed, dripping on the white snow, instantly staining a large area black.

If this claw goes down, let alone a mortal person, even a cultivator of the Divine Bridge Realm will die.

His hand was grabbing towards Qingming, but his gaze kept falling on the village of Qingyan Village.

Just as his hand was about to land on Qing Ming's head, a roar came from the village!

"You dare!"

At the same time, ten feathered arrows shot straight at him with wisps of aura.

Behind the ten feathered arrows was a bald boy also dressed in white.

The bald boy gently put down the bow in his hand and chuckled: "I just want to drink soup, although there is no dragon and tiger soup, but the snake and tiger soup can be reluctantly accepted." ”
